Dear Mr. Alexander:
We were disappointed to learn that KYW-TV has
purchased the rights to air Dr. Laura Schlessingerís
syndicated television show, as Dr. Schlessinger has
consistently been extremely hostile toward religious
and sexual minorities in both written and verbal
comments. We assume that, as a commercial television
station, KYW-TV would not have purchased this program
for any reason other than to make money; but we hope
that you would not consciously choose to profit from
comments disparaging the beliefs, affections, lives
and families of many of your viewers.
Sincerely,
Barbara Lamond Purdom Christopher Purdom
Interfaith Working Group Coordinators
The above letter was sent on IWG letterhead listing 19 congregations and
religious organizations and 64 clergy from 16 religious traditions. Would
you like to start an Interfaith Working Group in your area?
